Pre-made (Yanfly's) Action Sequence Sharing and Discussions

Blue001 · 2015-10-24T12:19:19+0900

As Yanfly's Battle Engine Core and Action Sequences 1-3 basically add a new type of resource to the game that can be created/shared/requested (in the form of completed action sequences), I thought it would be a cool idea to have a thread where people can; 1 - Share any sequences that they have come up with, 2 - Request help with how certain sequences could be done. For example, if someone figures out how to do a omnislash like sequence and would like to share it, they now have a place. Be sure to thank/credit whomever created a sequence if you use it in your game. Please include a note on if the end user will need to have action sequence plugin 1, 2, 3 or all of them for the shared sequence. - For example, User SOC shared the following sequence (in another thread) to make your character swing their weapon when using the skill that contains this notetag. SWING WEAPON WHEN USING THIS SKILL motion swing: user perform action motion wait: user action animation: target wait for animation action effect: target death break perform finish Click to expand... It seems simple, but to some users, they may look at this an get confused, especially when trying to make it on their own. Having examples they can copy/paste to achieve a desired effect will help a lot. A big thank you to Yanfly for creating the plugins!

This thread has gotten super long at this point and poking around I don't see an obvious question answered. What is the default action sequence that RPG Maker MV uses to start with? Like if I just want to update a variable on part of whole action but keep all of the other actions intact, what action sequence would I use?

I don't think I've ever seen that posted, since the general point of using action sequences is to not do it in the default way :wink:

You can kinda find it in the engine's code, like startAction() in rpg_windows.js, but it's really super basic. The default whole action code would just be
action animation
wait for animation
action effect

That's all that normally happens in a multi-target skill, right? It just hits everyone?

Been a while dudes and dudettes, coming back here and while I'm offering my help in case anyone is still wondering how to use the action sequences for RPG Maker MV, I'm also here requesting a bit of help.

Edit: So I managed to make the skill not display the name of the next skill by simple using a:

<setup action>
Immortal: targets, true
</setup action>

To overdrive, the default action done by the plug-in, so far so good, the only issue right now is that the actor goes back to its position when the common effect activates and the next skill runs.

So the actor cast his skill from the normal party slot instead of being slightly forward, any idea to make the actor not return to it's default position?

I move my question to my own post.

Hi guys.

How would I go about flashing the screen red when someone who has been attacked loses all their HP?

At the moment I have it working through the troop events, which checks if each enemy's HP is 0 and then runs a common event that is just a red screen flash.

This way works, but its annoying to have to set it up for each enemy in every troop encounter. It'd be nicer to just be able to build it into the actions sequences.

If this isn't the right place to ask questions about YEP Action Sequences, please let me know. But yeah, hello! I have a question.

Is it possible to use for loops in action sequences? I wanna make a skill that does the action effect as many times as a variable in my game.

For example, "Deal 3 damage for every 5 gold you have" or something like that. Possible or no?

Action Sequences Pack 2 has a Flash command.
Code:
if target.hp<=0 flash screen: red end

No, not natively. But I Googled "Yanfly Action Sequence loop" and found this extension plugin you can try: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/action-sequence-loops-1-10.79043/

Thanks! Checking this out. I've discovered another way of doing it with SRDude's Repeat Upgrade plugin.

Hi everyone! I've been following along with a lot of you over the years regarding the action sequences. However, I'm in need of a little help. I've built a simple little Cthulhu summon in my game, and when I call him I need the battleback to change. However, I'm not having much luck. I'm hoping someone could help me salve this, as I'm about to pull the rest of my hair out lol The code is below.

Code:

<setup action>
    display action
    camera focus: user, 10
    zoom: 175%, 30
    motion chant: user
    animation 121: user
    wait for animation
    opacity all actors: 0%, 30
    wait for opacity
    immortal targets: true
    hide battle hud: 10
</setup action>


<whole action>
    reset zoom: 10
    motion spell: user
    tint screen: 17, 0, 134, 30
    wait: 30
    battleback 3 add: battlebacks1, DarkSpace
    animation 999: targets
    wait for animation
    animation 998: targets
    wait for animation
    tint screen: normal, 30
    wait: 30
    action effect
    immortal target: false
    perform finish
</whole action>


<follow action>
    reset zoom: 20
    reset focus: 20
    opacity all actors: 255, 30
    clear battle log
    perform finish
    show battle hud
</follow action>


<finish action>

</finish action>

Well...what's happening instead? Is the rest of the skill working but the battleback doesn't change? Do you get an error in the console?

Is your file spelled with that capitalization? Do you, in fact, have the Improved Battlebacks plugin installed?

Yes, the rest of skill is working as intended. No errors in the console to report. And yes, I have the improved battlebacks installed. I copied the name of the file in question as it in the directory. Still nothing.

I should note that the plugin is placed where it is suggested by Yanfly themselves. I'll take a picture of the plugin hierarchy when I get home, as I'm at work currently.

Okay, so here is the plugin list as I mentioned. Originally it was underneath the Battle Engine Core, and all of the Action Sequence stuff. Then I moved it above Action Sequences, but right below Battle Engine. Same results.

Sorry, I don't have much else to suggest. You're using the correct format for the command, so the error is elsewhere. It's a small plugin that basically does this, so I assume someone would have noticed if it just didn't function at all (and I'm pretty sure I've seen other people use it).

You said your folder path and filename are correct...are you testing this using a battle in game? Using a new play test since you've changed anything? Not trying to use the Battle Test from the editor nor load a save game.

No, I'm running in test enviro. Should it be during an in-game battle, or does that matter?

PS - I'm sure it's something simple that I'm messing up somehow lol

Absolutely. Many plugins aren't loaded fully/at all during a Battle Test.

I can't guarantee that's the cause of this specific issue, but once you have plugins involved that modify anything in combat, you can't reliably use the Battle Test.

Okay, I'm a goof. I ran a playable build and it worked like a charm. I told you it was probably simple and I was messing it up lol.

Thank you so much for your help.

Sorry if this has already been addressed ... this is a really long thread... but is there a way to show an attack animation that isn't based on what weapon the user is wielding? Like, I'd like to sometimes do a thrust motion or a swipe motion with a sword. I'm using MZ. Thanks!
Johnboy

#1980 Sep 18, 2022, 01:14 PM Source

@mobiusclimber you should be able to use motion: Thrust on any weapon

#1981 Sep 18, 2022, 05:24 PM Source

@Johnboy - I just tried MOTION: Motion Type and set it to "user," "thrust" and "true" (for "show weapon?") but that didn't work. I also tried putting MOTION: Perform Action before the Motion Type command and when that didn't work, after the Motion Type command, which also didn't work. I'm trying it with a staff right now bc that's the easiest character to test it on.

[edit: I think the problem might be the motions look too similar when a weapon is added to them? The staff still has a downward arc but the character is acting like it's thrusting or firing a bow (I tried missile as well). The character's actions are in line with how those motions should look, but the weapon has the same original animation.]
